Here's for my amazing friends after 10 years, Dian & Awe...and their two little energy balls whose laughs and giggles can really move mountains! May you all live happily ever after!  :) I love you guys....

Xo,
Joy.

I think as we grow older, our Christmas list gets smaller and smaller...and the things we really want cannot be bought by money in the stores. 

It's the warm fuzzy feeling we have when we snuggle around a favorite book. It's the giggles and hugs besides a Christmas tree...It's the thrill of last minute Christmas shopping...and the ice cream stops in between. The twinkle in the kids' eyes when they stare inside a candy store! Their sheer joy when they see a free sleigh ride! It's the joy we share as family.. the memories that will last for the years to come. ♥ ♥ ♥

Family is what makes a holiday... a happy holiday. This one is for a friend who I hold dear in my heart, Yvonne and her cute little family! :) 

"Things that makes us happy can't really be seen or even touched. they are felt. deep down in the heart" ~Helen Keller ♥

This is what we love most about children: they find the most JOY in simplest things in life. A playground, a slide race, bubbles, mommy and daddy's hugs and kisses, climbing a tree, a pet rock, and being thrown up to the air. They find these things fascinating, they send them straight to the 7th heaven with their shrieks and giggles.

A wise saying once said: "Enjoy the littlest things in life...because one day, we will look back and realize that they were the BIG things!" Today, let us stop for a while and wear the glasses and faith of a little child. Let us enjoy the simplest, littlest things in life. Focus on the things that we have, not the things we don't have.

Happy Thanksgiving, friends :) This one goes for Teri and her beautiful family. =)
